A STORY TO LEARN FROM!!!!

An old man in the woods came across a young lumberjack (a person whose work is to fell trees) working feverishly to cut down a tree, "What are you doing?" He asked "I am sawing down this tree", the young lumberjack replied. The old man said, "You look exhausted, how long have you been at it?" The young lumberjack replied, "Over five hours and I'm beat." Not yet ready to reveal that he himself had spent thirty years as a lumberjack, the old man said, "It looks as if your saw might be a bit dull." "It probably is," said the young lumberjack, "I've been sawing all day." Then why don't you take a break and sharpen your saw?"the old man suggested. "The job will go a lot faster if you do." But the young lumberjack replied, "I don't like sharpening and anyway, I don't have time right now, I'm too busy sawing!" You see, it's one thing to work hard and another to work

DID YOU KNOW THAT?????

Procrastination gives your imagination the task of making the possible look impossible. It enables idleness and disables creativity, confidence and conscientiousness.  What are the things you ought to have done before now? Arise! Shake off the grips of procrastination and do what you should do!!!!

AN EXCERPT FROM WHAT I JOTTED DOWN AT A CONFERENCE....WHY WE ARE ON EARTH, WE SHOULD EXPECT GROWTH!

Do not come to class unless you have done your homework. When GOD starts taking you higher, always prepare your speech, your wardrobe and your mind! Consult a trusted friend who understands where you are and where you are going. If you can't find one, read up until you grasp the basics. Use what you know to help you understand what you don't. Everything you will ever learn is related to something you already know. The more you prepare yourself, the more opportunities GOD will give you. 

REFLECTION

You always lose when you: fight the wrong battle; fight the wrong person; fight at the wrong time; fight when you have no personal stake in it; fight because you constantly need to win in order to feel good about yourself; fight even though the battle has already been lost, but pride would not allow you swallow it. Stay focused on your goals. Keep your eyes on the prize that GOD has set before you concerning your life, your marriage, your destiny, your ministry. If the enemy can't defeat you, he will distract you with side issues or disqualify you by getting you to make bad personal choices.  Either way, he wins and you lose!

QUESTION FOR THE DAY

What would you have done if you weren't afraid? 

REFLECTION

...Some"friends" feel very comfortable when they always tell you "sorry ooo it is well", or when they call and most times visit when you are in a very low state; they even tend to be helpful, but immediately GOD finally lifts you up, you stop seeing them because you are no longer vulnerable! If you find yourself in such situation, I want you to know that your so called friend(s) was never your friend in the first place. They were only taking advantage of your situation.  Delete such person from your list of friends and move on. It does not mean you should keep malice with the person or not render assistance if the person comes to you for help, but at least you know better and you are wiser!  Every body must not be your friend and you do not need to force friendship on anyone who do not appreciate what GOD is doing in your life!  True friends rejoice with you when you rejoice and stand by you when you are low! Shout out to my very few friends out there! 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

There's nothing as sweet as having a partner who understands the things of the spirit even more than you do. It is only in science that unlike charges attract, not in marriage! Marriage is no science friends! When you are choosing a partner to marry, choose a partner with like minds! #folks am not a marriage counsellor, just love talking about it and sharing my thoughts with you.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HEAD AND THE NECK?

There is a proverb that says that "The man is the head, the woman is the neck and wherever the neck turns, the head turns". My mom once said that the neck does not scream and shout and it does not put up a fuss, it just gently.....turns. As much as this is true, the head is extremely important. It houses the brain which tells the body what to do. So, if someone is brain dead, everything comes to a screeching halt. The rest of the body stops functioning.  Likewise the neck, if it is broken, that's death, because the connection between the head and the body, where the other vital organs reside has been severed! GOD has given the man the mandate to be the head and that does not mean the neck is less important.  In this beautiful life, I have come to realise that many a man has been changed and made socially presentable because of a woman. GOD in HIS infinite wisdom has made the man and the woman to work together, like my pastor will call it-partner in destiny. The m

REFLECTION

You have been doing things your own way for a long time, and though you are tired, letting go is a frightening consideration. But you must let go and let GOD. Let go of the reins. Let go of the idea that you must control everything in your world or nothing will happen. Let go of the concept that you have to be tough in order to gain respect and influence people. It is absolutely not true. Listen, my dear woman of virtue, the truth is, you can be your soft, warm, wise, feminine self and still get everything accomplished!

WHAT INSPIRED "I'D RATHER BE SELF MADE BY LINDA IKEJI, A RENOWNED AND HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL BLOGGER....(FRIENDS, THIS IS A MUST READ)

Image
Before I became the popular blogger that I am today, I was a struggling entrepreneur. I started my modeling career in 1998 before I turned 18 and started my company Blackdove Communications in 2004 when I was just 23+. Blackdove was a modeling agency/events company and I operated from a 2-room office in Jibowu, Yaba for almost three years. In 2006, I decided to try something that I'd always wanted to do - become a magazine publisher. My dream growing up was to be a journalist. These days many people argue whether I am a journalist or not. I don't consider myself one. I'm a blogger, though being a journalist was my dream. In fact, I wanted to study Mass Communications in the university but I unfortunately didn't get it. I got English instead. But I've always had a love for writing, putting stuff together, informing people about what's going on etc. In in 2006, I mustered the courage and saved enough money to publish my own magazine. It was called FM&

HEY LADIES, I THINK YOU'D FIND THIS VERY HELPFUL...xoxo

During a short meeting with a colleague of mine, she said something remarkable and i thought i should share it with my fellow ladies...The ones who are hoping to get married someday and live happily ever after....This is no fairy tale, but the real deal...reality! Read below;  "Some women may consider this question as not particularly important  "Do you share the same core values and common interests with the man you are dating"? but failure to put this consideration into proper perspective could easily lead them down the road to heartbreak and despair. Your core values will influence your opinions and direct the ways you handle and respond to lots of life's issues". As much as this is very true and candid, some people out there may debate this strong point, which is very okay if they want to. But as for me, from experience so far, I totally agree with her.  Please share your thoughts. Whether you agree or disagree, we will still welcome your commen

STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF....LET GOD DETERMINE YOUR WORTH, NOT PEOPLE!!!!!

Stop doubting yourself or competing with others. Nobody can take what GOD has reserved for you. The choice is yours; either you let others determine your worth or you let GOD. And isn't it wise to let GOD, since you do not have to earn HIS love and you are in no danger of losing it!  Listen my dear friend, before you were born, GOD saw you! HE knew the specific purpose you were designed to fulfil, so HE provided you with gifts you'd need and the environment required to put it all together. When GOD looks at you, HE sees someone who has the ability, HE sees a winner.  Can you see that too about yourself?  It is very important that you can, because others will only treat you according to how you treat yourself! If you do not like the way people respond to you, stop and ask yourself, "What is the message I'm sending?"  If you want to be treated well, you've got to send a message that says, "I am somebody special because GOD made me somebody spec

WHAT WILL YOU DO IN SUCH SITUATION???

You have been living happily with your wife and suddenly, your siblings came to live with you. Your wife became their enemy because she runs your home well and wouldn't want to go below the standards with which the two of you have set to ensure a smooth and conducive atmosphere. What will you do to ensure that your wife is safe from your siblings misjudgements and disrespects and how will you handle your siblings? Remember, if you wife is insulted by anyone, you are also being insulted and more so, the scripture says that whoever despises his wife despises his destiny. Please share your thoughts.
